My Wonderful Wanda

Oberli is more interested in the interplay of her characters than a barbed look at geopolitics, an approach that clicks only to a point in this well-performed but overlong and uneven feature.

It's an engaging, mostly well-acted tale, full of surprising twists, even if some seem a bit too on the nose.

It loses emotional momentum with each new section.

The subtext is interesting, but it’s hard to fully appreciate beneath the repetitive arguments and half-baked scenarios.
